- Prepare the Vidalia onion-tomato jam: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 20 minutes.
- While onions cook, slice tomatoes in half crosswise, remove seeds with a spoon and discard, then chop. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, brown sugar, vegetable stock, and vinegar. Lower heat and simmer until caramelized, tender, and syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in thyme, and set aside.
- Make the turkey burger sliders: In a medium bowl, gently mix ground turkey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and egg. Form into twelve 2 1/2-inch patties.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high. Sprinkle patties with salt and pepper. Cook until done (165F internal temp), 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Assemble: Place patties on bottom halves of Hawaiian rolls. Top with goat cheese, a spoonful of jam, arugula, and roll tops. Skewer cherry tomatoes with toothpicks and perch atop each slider for a fresh, vibrant finish.
